My first cycling injury!

Dear Lord, you are talking about THE Flatbush Avenue, aren't you?

You must have one weird looking pedal to make that mark pattern on your leg. Ouch!

I'm glad you are alright and I'll be sharing the photo of your leg with our morgue investigators (who collect such bizarre things) in case they need to identify such marks on a body.

My goodness but that sounds morbid and it was a joke. Well the morgue investigators actually DO collect such things and you will notice that people who work in the morgue have a very strange sense of humor.

Forget everything I said....I'm just glad you made it alive across FLATBUSH AVENUE!!!!!

Thanks all...it's becoming smaller every day with the application of emu oil, neosporin and vitamin E--it will not be my ID mark!!. Now, to go hunting for that vicious bear who bit my leg!!

This is one of my favorite threads on BikeForums. I hope it's some comfort to know that others have truly embarrassing falls. I posted in that thread (I got knocked over waiting at an intersection by a heavy bike from which I was dismounted at the time), and so did my spouse (I had no idea he tried to impress a barista by trying to ride over and pop a balloon. Bet he never does THAT again).

Looks like a Land Shark bite to me

Yup, Pardes..THE FLATBUSH AVE....my pedals have a raised dot pattern and I'm still trying to figure out how it made the diagonal slash it did.
